Is this too specific to GNU make? What ifs a package uses cmake or something
else?
As the text indicates, this is specific to GNU make. For those using
something else reading this text will still hint that the first error
may not be in the end of the report "and may be only in the whole log".
Another weak point in this text is that by far not all errors
originating from "make". Yet, the true trouble is the original "See
error report: %s" where it can sometimes happen that the error is not in
this "error report" at all.
I found it difficult to find a wording which is short, clear and helpful
to the reader and at the same time not confusing. I am not perfectly
happy with the notice above. I just found it a reasonable compromise.
If you prefer more generic texts - such as the examples below - I will
send a new patch with the suggested test.
"Hint: The first error may be far way from the end of the
report and in cases can only be found in the whole build log."
"Hint: The error is most likely in the error report otherwise
see the whole build log [--log option]."
If you find any such change might cause more confusion than it might be
helpful, I think it better to close this bug than to try to fix it.
Greetings,
Frank
